"I'm really pleased that he is already with us as we can then be sure to develop him in the right way," Salihamidzic told a news conference on Monday. "Timossi will start off training with the under 19 side but if he performs well, like every young player, he'll get his chance with the first team."

Meawhile, Andersson told Helsingborg's website: "I am happy about my time with Helsingborg and wish to thank all the fans, players and the board who have always supported me. A new adventure now awaits me."

The Sweden U17 international has made 32 appearances and scored five goals for Helsingborg. As yet, no details of the fee nor the length of the contract have been announced by either club.
